Closing the Gap in Access to Rural Communications : Chile 1995-2002
The study documents, and reviews the
Chilean experience in rural telecommunications, by focusing
on the principles, practical organization, basic design, and
outstanding issues for extension of a more advanced form of
approach to communication, and access to information. It
examines in depth the results, and success factors of the
Telecommunications Development Fund, established in 1994, a
success largely due to the extensive reliance on market
forces to determine, and allocate subsidies, to minimal
regulatory intervention, and relatively simple processing.
The design of the Fund proved robust, and remains the
leading example of a cost-effective solution to reduce
access gaps in basic communication in emerging economies.
However, questions remain on the sustainability of services
for the long run, on how to support the small, but still
excluded rural population, and on potential, further needs
in urban areas.
